UFC 152: Jon Jones vs. Vitor Belfort full fight video highlights

After a turbulent past few months, Jon Jones (17-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) got back to doing what he does best at Saturday’s UFC 152 event.

The UFC light-heavyweight champion survived a deep first-round armbar attempt and then dismantled title challenger Vitor Belfort (21-10 MMA, 10-6 UFC) over the next four rounds to set up a submission victory of his own.

Full fight video highlights are now available of the bout.

UFC 152 took place at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre with Jones vs. Belfort as the pay-per-view headliner.

Jones, one of the sport’s top pound-for-pound fighters, entered the cage for the first time since a May DWI arrest and a subsequent clash with UFC officials. Jones initially was slated to fight Dan Henderson on Sept. 1 at UFC 151 in Las Vegas. However, when Jones turned down a fight with injury replacement Chael Sonnen on nine days’ notice, UFC officials canceled the event outright and publicly lambasted Jones and pinned the blame on the 25-year-old.

UFC officials ultimately turned to 35-year-old vet Belfort, a former UFC champion who – despite name recognition – hadn’t fought at light heavyweight in five years, to take the open slot. As a major underdog, he nearly pulled off the upset. But as the fight wore on, Jones proved he was in another class.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
